Preface
The simple request for a revision of Better Said and Clearly Written, published in 1989, precipitated the quest for the material for this practical guide. With a goal of offering solutions to business and technical communications problems, the research guide and annotated bibliography is aimed primarily at business and engineering students, faculty, librarians, and other working professionals. It is designed to facilitate research and the location of such helpful items as outlines, guidelines, and sample documents. Accordingly, it serves those who need to communicate more effectively in school and the workplace, as well as teachers and librarians who will assist them in this process. The process of developing this guide is a cooperative venture. Susan Lee Kendall, Yuhfen Diana Wu, and Toby Leigh Matoush created chapters 1 through 3, respectively. Every effort was made to ensure that bibliographic editions, Internet address, and contact information was the most recent available. Unless otherwise noted, all materials have been examined by one of the authors. Sandra E. Belanger created chapters 4 through 6. Bibliographic items included were published primarily between 1990 and 2004. Unless otherwise noted, the author examined all materials. Wu and Belanger did the final editing and formatting of the whole book. This book, like many others, has benefited from the assistance of colleagues and friends. We are deeply grateful to our families for their support. We are indebted to Elizabeth A. Mason for her support and efforts on our behalf, and to Dr. Steve Wu for his technical advice. Many of the materials included would not have been scrutinized without the assistance of Cathy Perez and the Interlibrary Services staff, and the Link+ Book Request Services at San Jose State University Library.
Introduction
Effective communication skills are essential in the new millennium. Today’s fast-moving, competitive business world requires employees with excellent verbal and written skills. In order to meet this need, business schools strive to produce students with both skills; communication courses stress techniques through term papers, writing assignments, and oral presentations; and managers require employees to participate in appropriate training exercises. The published literature on workplace communication skills echoes this concern as textbooks and works offering advice and sure cures for communication problems continue to proliferate. While the business and technical worlds bemoan the absence of competent writing and speaking skills, the rapid pace of the work environment leaves little time for learning and improving these skills. In order to effectively facilitate communication skills for students and practitioners, clear guidelines, well-structured outlines, and pertinent examples are needed. This book serves as a guide to the locations of these essential materials and the research tools needed to acquire them. There are two components to this book. The first three chapters serve as a handbook for conducting research in business and technical communication. It answers basic questions on correct grammar and offers research tools (e.g., dictionaries), research resources (e.g., indexes, computer databases, and periodicals), and information sources (e.g., associations, research institutions). Chapter 1, Research Guides, lists standard reference sources such as bibliographies, dictionaries, directories, handbooks, and sources of quotations. It identifies sources for correct definitions, biographies of important persons in the field, and quotations to use in a report or a speech. The bibliographies record previously published material in business communication and technical writing. Chapter 2, Research Resources, expands research techniques in business and technical communication through the use of printed indexes and abstracts,

Introduction
computer databases, periodicals, Web sites, and library subject headings. These can be used to extend the search for articles in magazines and journals, as well as in published books. Chapter 3, Information Resources, describes professional associations, research institutions, government agencies, and grammar hotlines. Many professional associations, research institutions, and government agencies provide assistance with communication problems. Grammar hotlines can be called for immediate answers to punctuation, syntax, and spelling questions. Chapters 4-6 serve as a guide to general, written, and oral communication skills through a topical bibliography of books published between 1990 and 2004. Sources in Chapters 4-6 were selected for their emphasis on approaches, formats, checklists, guidelines, and sample documents. Author, title, publication information, and annotation are displayed. The inclusion of outlines, guidelines, sample documents, and similar items in the books is noted in the annotations. Chapter 4, Communication Skills, examines books that improve general communication skills, such as editing, grammar, and writing style. As proficiency in communicating affects all areas of the work environment, there is no excuse for lack of competency. The communication overviews found in the chapter allow anyone to learn to communicate more effectively. Books listed in Chapter 5, Written Communication, address questions on writing specific documents, from proposals and business plans to reports and resumes. Through correspondence and more specialized written documents, management communicates with its employees, its competitors, and its customers. The production of well-written materials ensures that misunderstandings are prevented and success guaranteed. Chapter 6, Oral Communication, features books on such crucial communicative skills such as interviewing, presentations, telephone etiquette, and public speaking. As with the written word, the ability to effectively converse with others is essential for success. Three indexes complete the volume. They are: name, title, and subject.
Chapter 1
RESEARCH GUIDES
In the search for information to improve business and technical communications, there are several basic reference sources, which supplement a good dictionary and thesaurus, including handy desktop manuals and information gathering tools. This chapter is a bibliography of the standard references sources for the communications field. Six categories are included: bibliographies, biographical sources, dictionaries, directories, handbooks, and quotation books. These sources identity correct definitions, biographies of important persons in the field, and quotations to add spice to a presentation. Some reference tools, like bibliographies, lead to further sources; others, like dictionaries, contain the answer within the volume consulted. The presence of annotations or brief summaries in the works cited is indicated where appropriate. The biographical works give brief descriptions of an individual’s life and accomplishments or reveal the location of such information. Dictionaries feature terms as defined in the field. Varying degrees of explanation are supplied for key terms, buzz words and slang expressions. A directory usually lists basic data such as name, address, telephone number and other pertinent information. The directories in this chapter index associations, periodicals, newsletters and government agencies. They can be used to modify and expand on the information found in chapters two and three. Handbooks go beyond the more limited focus of dictionaries in providing data. They offer extensive definitions, detailed examples and examine specific skills such as letter writing. The pronouncements and witticisms of experts in economics and business are often quoted in the press. To assist in their identification, pertinent collections of quotations are cited.
2 Business and Technical Communication The basic reference sources in this chapter support the search for additional information in business and technical communications. Used appropriately, these sources will contribute to the improvement of writing and speaking skills.

RESEARCH RESOURCES
A thorough subject search involves locating both books and journal articles. The bibliographies in the previous chapter will not lead to new developments in business and technical communications. These can only be discovered through a search of periodical indexes, bibliographic databases, newly published books, and recent issues of journals and newsletters in the field. This chapter identifies five resources for the information search: indexes and abstracts, electronic databases, journals and newsletters, the library subject headings, and online websites necessary to access collections in academic and public libraries. Most libraries subscribe to journals, indexes, and electronic databases. In printed indexes, journal articles and other reports are classified, usually by subject. Some indexes can be searched also by author, title and numerical codes, such as SIC or NAICS. The indexes listed in this chapter retrieve references to those journal articles which offer guidelines, promote preferred techniques and provide sample documents. In the last few years several indexes and abstracts have been released in compact disc (CD-ROM) format and most are primarily available online via the World Wide Web. CD-ROM databases offer search capabilities similar to online bibliographic databases, with a greater ability to control costs. However, the web-based databases have become a norm because of the ability of real-time update. Two primary advantages to researching a topic with an online or CD database are: (1) the ability to combine the separate concepts in a unique fashion and, (2) the speed at which it can be done. While all printed indexes retrieve citations to magazine articles and journal papers, most online databases contain the complete text of written reports, numerical tables or proprietary research. This chapter contains the addresses and telephone numbers of the major printed indexes, database vendors, and bibliographic and directory databases. The bibliographic databases provide access to journals, newspapers, government
26 Business and Technical Communication publications, dissertations and related studies. While a large number of journals and newspapers are published each year, only the most relevant titles are listed here. For each journal and newsletter the telephone number, publisher, dates, and content are included. Libraries usually organize their collections by subject. Universities employ the Library of Congress Classification System and public libraries, the Dewey Decimal System. Access to a library's collections is obtained by using its catalog, whether printed cards, microform format or online public access catalog. All systems use subject headings (albeit different ones) to identify relevant books. The subject headings best used for business and technical communications books are listed here: Sears List of Subject Headings for public libraries and Library of Congress Subject Headings for academic and corporate libraries. All contact information was verified and was accurate as of August, 2004.
ABSTRACTS AND INDEXES Due to advancement in technologies, many paper indexes and abstracts have moved to web-based format with full text. Therefore, the number of print abstracts and indexes have decreased.

INFORMATION SOURCES
Sometimes, during this age of real-time information, there is a need for quick answers to business communication questions. Books and databases can provide an effective if often, time-consuming answer. Alternative sources like websites and telephone referral services at agencies and grammar hotlines can often provide quicker responses to business communication needs. This chapter is a guide to solving business communication problems with information obtained from national associations, government agencies, grammar hotlines, book publishers, and research institutions. By adding to the print and database sources available, these associations, agencies, and services can assist in improving both written and oral business communication. Effective business writing requires a working knowledge of grammar and punctuation rules that many of us have forgotten through disuse. Grammar hotlines, usually associated with colleges and universities, have developed in response to this need. Hotline staff answer punctuation, grammar, and usage needs over the telephone. Select U.S. agencies publish significant journals and reports related to business and technical information. The agencies will also respond to business communication and technical needs by replying to telephone or email queries. National associations and research institutions engage in important research, sponsor publications (newsletters and journals), and conduct meetings (seminars and conferences). Research, publications, and meetings serve as an important forum for networking and the exchange of ideas within the industry. Association membership, subscriptions, and telephone referral as well as website access can also provide needed business information and assistance. Finally, while university and public libraries can always be used for obtaining needed business communication books, these books can also be ordered directly from their publishers.

Chapter 4
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
While communication mistakes are tolerated and can provoke humor in social situations, they produce misunderstandings and lost opportunities in the workplace. The successful person communicates well with colleagues, subordinates, supervisors, and clients. Skills lost through disuse and new strengths can be addressed here. This chapter examines books published since 1990 on general communication skills. The introductions to skill development found here offer a basic review of writing and speaking skills. Two important abilities are grammar and style. Productive communication necessitates comprehension of the English language and adherence to its rules and forms. Both written documents and oral presentations demand correct grammar, punctuation and usage. While language can be enhanced by word choice and sentence construction, the type of informal writing permitted in correspondence between friends is inappropriate in business reports and technical manuals. There are many ways to update little-used skills and acquire new ones. Described here are workbooks, textbooks, guidebooks, and author-devised learning systems. Workbooks offer exercises, questions, spaces for framing answers, and evaluation of responses. The textbooks and guidebooks are competency-based, requiring successful completion of exercises or activities. Several books promote author-devised systems for the development of skills or written products. These can be found under the heading Writing Systems.
108 Business and Technical Communication Written documents and oral presentations can be improved after initial production. Editing and revising skills rectify grammar, punctuation, usage, word choice, and other problems.

Chapter 5
WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
When individuals are unable to communicate their ideas in printed documents, all areas of the workplace are affected. The business plan required to acquire venture capital fails or product instructions generate complaints rather than sales. Excellent written documents bring success in both the business and technical fields. This chapter identifies books published since 1990 with guidelines, proven techniques, and sample documents for improved written products. Most of the paper generated in a work environment takes the form of email, letters, and memos. Numerous published books advance well-tested approaches for mastering effective written communication skills. The process of beginning, developing and maintaining a business necessitates business plans, marketing plans, annual reports, and catalogs. For the novice and those needing improvement, there are tips, outlines, and samples of finished documents. Internal communication takes many forms, each with a unique format and specific requirements. The pursuit of the perfect job and correct career choice requires another written product, the resume. The different types of resumes (e.g. traditional, electronic, scannable) are important step in career development along with learning when the traditional form is more relevant than the electronic. The largest section of Chapter 5 concerns the specialized documents; i.e., manuals, proposals, and reports. Each of these document types requires special attention to purpose, audience and content. Practitioners and teachers reveal solutions for each problem that has to be handled.

ORAL COMMUNICATION
Communicating in the workplace requires the ability to converse with colleagues, management and customers in a variety of situations. The good communicator speaks and listens, and can communicate by telephone and in meetings. This chapter concerns the acquisition and development of oral communication skills and their application to employment situations. The two most important skills are persuasive speaking and responsive listening. Employed in every conversation, the level of skill demanded is high for those participating in interviews and giving formal presentations. Formal presentations, speeches and oral reports are delivered at a variety of events. Interviewing skills are needed for both employer and employee. The employer must hire new employees, evaluate current ones, and communicate with everyone. The prospective employee must traverse the uncertainties about an interview’s structure, the questions likely to be asked, and their chances for success. Meetings continue to be a fact of life, despite the impact of email, videoconferencing and the like. Both leaders and participants can determine the need for a meeting and guarantee its success by acquiring the skills needed for planning and conducting the sessions. This chapter reviews books published between 1990 and 2004 that offer techniques, guidelines and models for the development or improvement of these skills.
